This spring, Vibia unveiled a new showroom, factory, and headquarters in Gavà, Barcelona. Intended to serve as much as the brand’s office as a gathering spot for visitors and designers, the expansive space regularly plays host to a range of guests. Among some recent visitors were a group of master’s students enrolled in the Architectonic Lighting Design programme at UPC, the Barcelona School of Professional & Executive development: BarcelonaTech. Together with their programme director, the renowned lighting designer Maria Guell, the students toured the headquarters and shared their impressions and favourite lighting designs.

Alejandra Kuri, from Monterrey, Mexico, spoke of how the showroom “reveals Vibia’s essence in a high-end, fluid space, with precise lighting accents to catch the viewer’s attention.” Among her favourites were the Guise and Origami pendants designed by Stefan Diez and Ramón Esteve, respectively.

Light is at the foundation of space design. Alongside architects, interior designers, lighting designers, engineers and dealers, we aim to improve the world through a single aspiration: creating better spaces to live.
